Washington’s time-wasting work zones

Washington's commuters are well aware there is
no shortage of long-term road improvement
projects across the region. Here are some of the
biggest projects around
town that are most likely to slow you down.
Knowing where these so-called "recurring work
zones" are and when they set up can save you a
lot of time and frustration.

Heavy midday traffic rides through the $1.4
billion Express Lanes project. Work zones during
the weekdays generally are cleared by 3 p.m.
Monday through Thursday and by noon on Friday.
